On November 6, 2003, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-9 to send the nomination of Janice Brown to the full Senate. On November 14, 2003, the Senate failed to end debate as the 53-43 vote fell seven short of the 60 that would be needed to force a vote on Justice Brown's nomination. President George W. Bush formally renominated Rogers Brown on February 14, 2005, to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. As part of the Senate compromise, Senate Democrats allowed a final vote on the merits of the re-nomination of Rogers Brown. The Senate voted 65 to 32 to confirm Rogers Brown.
